Chromebook and Google Classroom Ideas

This page will be a central repository for ideas for how to use Chromebooks within the classroom. If you have other ideas, send them to d.oconnor@dameallans.co.uk or j.raines@dameallans.co.uk to get them added to this resource.

Socrative
Socrative empowers you to engage and assess your students as learning happens. Through the use of real-time questioning, result aggregation, and visualization, you have instant insight into levels of understanding so you can use class time to better collaborate and grow as a community of learners.

Kahoot
Create, play and share fun learning games/quizzes for any subject. Students can answer the quiz on any device by going to kahoot.it once you have found or created the quiz.

Lensoo
Lensoo Create turns your iPad or Android tablet into a virtual whiteboard with voice recording and smooth digital writing. Use this to allow students to make a whiteboard recording to give explanations to their peers, create revision resources etc.

Dvolver
Allow your students to create animated movies to help to explain concepts to each other, have conversations in foreign languages.

Poll Everywhere
How do teachers use Poll Everywhere?

• Who do you think will become the next president of the United States? (for a US Government class)

• In Mary Shelly’s novel Frankenstein do you think the monster is born evil or good? (for an English Literature class)

• If a substance is strongly acidic, what is the PH range on a scale of 1-14? (for a Chemistry class)

• What is the correct way of saying, “Being alone is preferable to being in bad company”? (for a Spanish class) 

Teachers can also use Poll Everywhere to find out how their students’ poll responses compare/contrast with responses to nationwide or statewide polls, such as those currently being published about the presidential debates.

Google Classroom
Set up your class on Google Classroom to be able to send them resources, worksheets, complete tasks using Google Docs, set assignments and mark the work online.
